Irish Passport Qualification (lighthearted)

[Happylittlethoughts]

So my Ancestry DNA report says I'm 60% Irish and only 40% Scottish. AIBU to appeal to the Irish Government that this great grounds to qualify for a passport?
Anyone else got special grounds of appeal for another country?

Airing cupboard

Ah...!!!
Told my dc to stop acting the gombeen today and asked did they think I was a complete daw at another point!

Has anyone mentioned fellas going out with their 'mot'? Though i think that might be just a Dublin thing.

Yes mot is Dublin, lack where I'm from and beor I think in Cork.

HeyGirlHeyBoy I like 'gombeen'. I think it deserves a comeback I also used 'daw' in my youth :) great words! I called the cat a great big 'galoot' recently (not complimentary)

Wow😄Popped back and found this thread had taken off!
I reckon the cross over in words like press, gutties etc is huge here on the West Coast of Scotland where the majority of Catholics( my upbringing) probably arrived from Ireland. In Glasgow at the turn of the 19th Century there were more Anti Catholic Societies than there were actual Catholics. So most are founded in the mass immigration in the next decades.
I'd pass quite a few questions and hope the DNA result was scientific enough to persuade them 😄

Mot a northside expression.

As in northside in Dublin

Mot was definitely used on the southside as well, maybe not as much though.
